Description 

Sharon's Sandbag is another 5.9 at the NNP. It seemed pretty reasonable for the grade, although confidence with nuts and small cams is a necessity for those on the sharp end.

Start just left of the skull graffiti. Climb upt to a platform below an obvious finger crack.

The finger crack opens in a few places, but generally you'll be crimping your way on small edges on either side, while you plug in nuts or other small pro into the crack. There are occasional placements for thin hands size cams as well.

Near the top is a committing mantle move onto a platform 5' below the rim.


Location 

Start just left of the skull graffiti- Sharon's Sandbag is the right of the 3 obvious cracks on this face on the left side of the NNP.

Protection 

Nuts and cams to 2".
2-bolt anchor, reachable from the top, was installed to prevent further damage to trees.
